The fact that despite all the hue and cry done by the FD on IF/Twitter/Insta, the same ghisa pita plots are being served is proof that we are not her majority audience. So long as she making money, I doubt we will see any change in the treatment of ITV soaps 😔. It is a business after all. Her OTT offerings are very different, it's clear she understands her audience.
Sorry, I'm probably coming across as a killjoy, but having set aside my emotional attachment for the show, this is what the rational side of my brain is telling me.
in the same killjoy rant…
Nakuul was asked about what myths people say about tv shows… He said
TV shows are regressive and OTT (over the top)
Although he was being sarcastic/considering it a myth…
I feel that is exactly my take away…itv is regressive and ott and supposedly I feel this about one of the best shows 🤔😱
I was explaining the plot of BALH2 to my son and he was in shock…like how could I be watching a show where :
Boy and girl get in an arrange marriage…fall in love…
Stepmom trying to break marriage
Husband’s friend is killer of husband’s father
Wife’s father is husband’s father’s hitman
Wife’s brother in law is also involved in killing wife’s nephew pushed n kills husband’s sister
wife goes to jail…
How did I fall in love with this show🤔😞
working on detox…
